Tourney of Champs- Jenks wins again!

Marshall Morris had a breakout game for Jenks as he notched 18 points to lead the Trojans to the Championship of the Tourney of Champs at the Fairgrounds Pavilion in Tulsa, Oklahoma.

The Trojans had a seemingly safe 8 pt lead with 1:45 left but Booker T Washington's Brian Harris long range bombs and free throw shooting cut the margin to 1 point, 59-58, with 10.8 seconds left. Jenks Brian Brookey went to the line with 5 seconds left and made 1 of 2, setting up Harris with a last second shot that missed, which would have stolen the game from Jenks.

T.J. Smith, Harris, Ian Ponds, Nick Harris and Tharone Chilton led the Hornets.

Jenks was led by Morris, the steady rebounder and defender seemed due to break out after a first round game where his short shots were just a fraction off. Point guard Doug McKnight had a strong scoring second half to finish with 11 points, while TU signee, 6'5" Bryson Pope finished with 17 points despite having a severe challenge at the free throw stripe where he missed 4 of 5 in the 1rst half, and his first 3 of the 2nd half, before calming himself and connecting on his final 4 attempts.
